Both elves and dwarves originated in J.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings
Answer:
Elves have been a feature of English, German and Norse folklore for centuries. The original elf name is not possible to determine. The old description of elves - not totally nice critters - has modified with time so that Tolkein and present new agers turn them into almost pleasant, if somewhat aloof, beings.
The present incarnation as serfs in Santa's workshop is somewhat of a puzzle. Both the activities they partake in (making toys) and the actors hired in most commercials indicate they are dwarves, not elves. The elves working in malls with Santa are generally more like fairies ( pretty young women) and may be standing in for elves.

Children are typically instructed to give their Elf on the Shelf a name and not touch it, as the magic might disappear. They are also encouraged to talk to their elf daily and share any wishes or hopes they have. Additionally, children are reminded that the elf moves to different spots in the house each night to report back to Santa Claus.
